I really hope no one in here find these outfits cute or fashionable because that's gotta be either the ugliest or the tackiest outfits I've ever seen. They're so bad that they're making the KPSP outfits look good >_<.

Here's two pictures of Nicki Minaj

I could see if it were a costume party.... maybe.

otherwise-Yikes.

EA... cover your eyes.

The more I look at these the more I realize something. While they maybe overly bright to some people, even gaudy to the point of being garish (and other than the colors I am not really seeing a candy theme) they are not suggestive in a trashy way.

In my opinion there is a big difference in a dress made up of bubbles with a short skirt and wrapping large breasts in silver with tassels that say they are "Katy's Kisses". There is one thing to say its candy themed, its another to take candy across that line into inappropriate dress.

yes, I know its for her performance and performances are supposed to be suggestive and she is not wearing it to a party in the case of the other two dresses, but did anyone stop and think that as much as KP keeps this to her stage dress our sims might not want to walk around town like this? I know that the kisses dress is not in the SP (as far as we know) but I think that might be the difference that bothers some people. Like the cupcake bra or the cupcake trees it took it beyond fun and imaginative to blatantly suggestive and where many don't want to go with their sims - at least around town.

Yes I know that in many respects these outfits, including the cupcake bra, are tame compared to some of the lingerie we saw in MS but at least that was sleepwear and my townies don't wear sleepwear while cruising through town, and my local playground does not have trees suggestive of things better kept off of playgrounds

I enjoyed reading the posts in this thread and can understand why some do and others do not like this SP. I fall closer to the like because I already have a few ideas for lots in my game that this SP would be great for. The clothing is hit and miss with me, but not a complete deal breaker either. Is it the best SP? No, it needs more work.

I understood what katana_x was trying to explain to some of our other Simmers about why some may be offended and since there is still some confusion I thought I might take a stab explaining it this way...

Take the uniforms sailors in the Navy wore in the bygone era of the pinup girl.
Male uniform - ok
Female sexualized version of uniform for adult women - ok because it is based on the adult male version as Pinups and in no way is affiliated with the child's version.
Female asexualized version of uniform for adult female - ok
Male child shorts and shirt version based on adult male - ok
Female child dress based on adult male or adult female asexualized version - ok

Now lets take a women’s outfit like the French maid.
Female work uniform version for adult female - ok
Female sexualized version for adult females based off of female work uniforms - ok

Now lets use the Girl Scout and Brownies uniforms.
Female child uniform for young girls - ok
Adult female uniform aka Scout Leaders uniform for adult women - ok
Adult female outfit based off of female child’s uniform now sexualized for adult female - not okay ever
Adult female outfit based off of female adult uniform now sexualized for adult female - not okay because the Brownies and Girl Scout is strongly associated with children and would be no different than the former.

I choose those outfits as examples because they all exist in real life and may be easily identifiable to the majority.

I hope this way helps to explain it for those who come to conclusions differently than others. Another way to put it: you can sexualize any adult outfit that is based off of an adults, but you cross the line when you do it to children’s attire or something strongly identified with children’s attire, which is way a few are not happy with the Scout-like outfit. I thought Brownies or Girl Scouts when I first saw it too so I am not surprised by some Simmers reactions. Too bad they did not make the shirt tucked in and the skirt knee length.

Happy Simming

Ugh, Terrible! From what I've seen in this "candy" category there is a fine line between tacky and couture. Judging from the screenshots thus far, EA has taken the tacky route.

Anyone notice a difference?

@Rk, that's the first time I've literally wondered how somebody has managed to walk. Bottom image you posted. Do you think she was hoisted in for a picture? Maybe carried on a board or something?

You hit her point dead on in my opinion. That is all she was trying to say to begin with.

The first one is really beautiful and the second is cute.

Honestly, I wish they had just made a pack with things that she has worn, not just candy. She has some stunning clothing and hairstyles I would have liked to have in the sims.

Completely agree. KP is not all about candy and it would've been nice if they'd shown a different aspect of her style. D: Oh well...!

lol. Severely. I still reckon she must've been hoisted in for the photo.

I think there is something wrong with a style that forces you to stand so it looks like you are a sim with a bladder need in the red.

That's what she reminds me of! She's also grimacing, not smiling.
